Dishwasher Drain was not Installed Correct...One of Only Two Ways to Fix!

What happens here

The detached dishwasher drain hose is routed upward along the back wall of the sink cabinet, ensuring it reaches the highest possible point before curving back down towards the garbage disposal. A conduit clamp and a short screw are used to secure the hose firmly in place at the cabinet's top. The presenter emphasizes getting the hose as high as possible to maximize the air break effect. If needed, a pilot hole can be drilled for the screw before fastening the clamp.

Goal: The dishwasher drain hose is re-routed to create a high loop, securing it to the top of the cabinet to prevent backflow.
